About
Royal Ontario Golf Club sprawls across gentle hillsides blanketed in mature trees and thick fescue. Formerly a stable, the course features large meadows and dense groves of trees that frame the fairways and greens. The layout has a more traditional, links design that features occasional water hazards, most notably on the par-5 ninth and 18th holes that share a large lake, but the tree-covered hills are the true challenge of the golf course. Although there are many difficult elements on this course, five sets of tees make it accessible for players of all skill levels. Royal Ontario Golf Club is often compared to the Masters Course at Lionhead Golf & Country Club.

Royal Ontario, harder than I remembered
Course was in excellent shape. There was some waiting at every hole. Pace was about 4:40, so it should have been half an hour faster. Greens were fast and undulating and some pin placements quite unfair, although most were ok. Course was very tight in spots. Overall, a very nice track...
Great track
This is a great course and will test good golfers. The greens are in great shape and lots of undulations make them tough to read.
Nice Course
We enjoyed the course quite a bit. There were several holes that you could not hit the driver on as you would run out of fairway or by design you need to hit a lesser club. Lots of blind landing areas from the tee which is not ideal.
The marshal was annoying to say the least as he was on us for a good portion of the front nine even though there was no one behind us or on the tee. Totally inappropriate if you pay $250 plus for threesome with tax and you get bothered for no reason.
I certainly won't play this course again because of the marshal system.
Play once or twice a year
Challenging course with not too many easy holes. 9 and 18 are their signature holes and making par on either requires a careful approach. 7 is an easy drive with a approach into a narrow green virtually surrounded by water/hazards except for one side. The on course service is good as well and staff are friendly. Prices seem to have come down so you are getting good value for your money.
Very well maintained course. Fairways, greens and bunkers were in great shape. Played early morning on a weekday so pace of play was great. Very reasonably priced for the quality.
Tough course
Very nice course kept in great condition. Very tight not much room for error
Not as easy as it looks.
I play this course a lot and always enjoy it. Looks fairly benign, but can be very hard on the score card if you do not hit your ball straight. The greens are sneaky quick and always in A-1 condition and consistent from start to end of season.
Thanks! It can be a shot makers course depending on the tees you choose.
5.5 hours for a round of golf
I enjoyed the course as I usually do, however 5.5 hours for a round is way to much for me. Avoid playing this course on weekends if you can unless you want a whole day experience.
We will have to work on this. Will pass it along to Cal our Golf Pro.
Marshal and restaurant staff very friendly. Tee off time was good and because of early bird time we could relax over lunch before the round
Check in was all done ahead of time and carts were already. pro shop seemed less enthusiastic- like we were getting a great deal that he wasn't sharing in. I expect a warm welcome or at least a hello when I enter a pro shop to start a round of golf
Wasn't impressed with paying for a small bucket of balls for the driving range-
But overall good value for the money and good course- more lke a club link than a public track
Thanks for the feedback. We will let Cal our pro know about your experience in the Proshop.
Slowest game in 20 years
Nice layout. Group in front held up entire course. Marshalls talked to them twice and did nothing. Bring your own beer as only saw beer cart on 1st tee and then not again in 5 hours. Got back to clubhouse and saw all the carts of the people that just gave up. Greens pretty chewed up. I would recommend it to people that like to take their time and play slow as the course will not rush you.
Good course with some challenging holes!
I have only played this course a few times and most have been after major rainfalls so the course was still very wet and soggy in places. Greens were fast with early in the year which made it challenging after the days of rain soaking the areas around them. Price was very fair for this time of year.
Early morning is the best time to play! Thanks
